Pronouns - Demonstrative, Interrogative, Relative, Indefinite

In addition to the commonly used and known “Personal Pronouns”, there are 4 more categories of pronouns which we can use to demonstrate, to interrogate, to relate and in indefinite form. They are as follows:-1. Demonstrative Pronouns (this, these, that, those)
A demonstrative pronoun identifies a noun or a pronoun.

this, that - will identify noun or pronoun in singular form.

these, those - will identify noun or pronoun in plural form.

this, these - to refer to objects that are nearby.

that, those - to refer to objects that are farther away.

e.g. This is good but that is not suitable/These are good but those are not suitable.
